Banana Bread

I can’t believe I’m only just getting round to sharing this great recipe.  It is a massive staple in our house – if ever I know we have people coming round, if ever we have a surplus of bananas or if I need something to add in to the kids’ lunch boxes, I quickly mix this one up.  It is really quick and easy to throw together but does take around an hour to bake, so plan ahead.

  5. Add the ground almonds and flaxseed and mix well.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle with whole flax (if you have them!).
  7. Bake for 1-1 1/4 hours, but check after the first 30 minutes and if it's looking a brown cover with the spare baking parchment until it is finished.

  9. Remove from the oven and cool a little before slicing.
  10. Store in the fridge for about a week or slice and freeze.
